Know what members really say about your products, and your competitors

Members review everyday products, add pictures of how they use them and comment on each other. You request the view you need and see it combined and anonymous.

Who it is for

  • ✓ Brand and category managers who want honest feedback on their own products
  • ✓ Product teams comparing themselves with named competitors
  • ✓ Insight teams that want a steady source of user-generated content
Overview

Review insights: what it is and how it works

Instuly members review everyday products, rate them, share pictures of how they use them and comment on each other's reviews. Only products listed by Instuly can be reviewed, and every review is a member's own words.

A brand does not log in to browse reviews. Instead you ask for insights on your product and up to a few competitors. Our team approves the request, and you then see the combined picture for a set period: average rating, rating split, a 12-month trend, what members praise and criticise, short anonymous quotes and pictures members chose to share.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I add my product to the catalogue?

Products are added by our team. Contact us with your product and we will tell you whether it can be listed.

Can I see who wrote a review?

No. Insights are combined and anonymous, with no names, emails or member ids.

How is the theme analysis done?

Themes are found by matching words in review text and are labelled praised or criticised by the star rating. It is a transparent method, not a black box.

Does it cover all buyers of my product?

No. Figures describe reviews written by Instuly members only.
